Kinetic studies of the thermal isomerization and fragmentation reactions exhibited by cis- and trans-1-(E)-propenyl-2-methylcyclobutanes at 275°C in the gas phase have provided first-order rate constants for cis,trans interconversions of the cyclobutanes, 1,3-carbon migrations leading to 3,4- and 3,6-dimethylcyclohexenes, isomerizations providing directly and indirectly four acyclic dienes, and fragmentations to ethylene, propene, and mixtures of pentadienes and hexadienes. Both cis and trans isomers of 1-(E)-propenyl-2-methylcyclobutane form trans-3,4-dimethylcyclohexene faster than they are converted to cis-3,4-dimethylcyclohexene; the trans reactant gives rise to cis-3,6-dimethylcyclohexene in preference to its trans isomer, while the cis starting material gives neither at measurable rates; both form the relatively minor product 1,6-(Z)-octadiene. The rate constants derived from 35 kinetic runs starting with four distinct 1-(E)-propenyl-2-methylcyclobutane samples are consistent to within narrow error limits. The stereomutations, isomerizations, and fragmentations of the 1-(E)-propenyl-2-methylcyclobutanes are interpreted in terms of competitive processes involving conformationally flexible short-lived 2-(E)-octene-4,7-diyl and 3-methyl-5-(E)-heptene-1,4-diyl diradicals.

Quantitative analyses of mixtures of the seven isomeric 3,4- and 3,6-dimethylcyclohexenes have been achieved by gas chromatography. Correlations of structure and absolute stereochemistry with elution order have been made rigorously with the aid of authentic optically active samples all derived from (3R)-methylcyclohexanone.
Protium-deuterium exchange of cyclic and acyclic alkanens in dilute acid medium at elevated temperatures

A modification of the high temperature - dilute acid (HTDA) method for deuterium labelling of aromatic compounds has been applied to the H-D exchange of a number of cyclic and acyclic alkenes.Cyclopentene, cyclohexene, cyclododecene, and tetramethylethylene have been completely exchanged in excellent yield. 1-Methylcyclopentene and 1-methylcyclohexene have also been perdeuterated and cycloheptene and cyclooctene partially labelled but require spinning band distillation or preparative glpc for separation from rearrangement products.A variety of C5-C8 acyclic alkeneshave also been treated under HTDA conditions.
